Red Velvet Cupcakes

I had never made anything red velvet-flavored before these cupcakes. It’s not a flavor that anyone in my family asks for, but my husband’s aunt and cousin love it, so I made these for them. Anything with cream cheese frosting is a winner, but the flavor of red velvet is still kind of a mystery to me. It’s like it’s in between chocolate and vanilla somehow.

Give this recipe a try and you might just discover a new favorite flavor!

Directions:
Combine cream cheese and butter in bowl of electric mixer. Beat on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add in powdered sugar and mix on low just until incorporated. Increase speed to medium-high and beat 2-3 minutes more. Blend in vanilla.
